I agree 100% I have no idea why he is running solid rollers. I assume if gets the same
oil to the roller bearings in the rollers as a hydraulic roller lifter . So in his case if he has not been experiencing impact loads due to the lash why would they not last at least 100K miles with those spring loads.

Why would you even run a solid roller if you weren't looking for higher rpm potential, more horse power and willing to put up with a short life span (compared to hydraulic)?
